The Lloydminster community is honouring the life of Glenn Fagnan, a two-term seated City Councillor, a Rotarian of more than 30 years, and the Executive Director of the Border City Connects Society, who passed away on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at the age of 65.
The City of Lloydminster has lowered flags to half-mast to honour the legacy of Glenn who is warmly remembered as a companion, leader and architect of the community, with significant contributions to the development of Lloydminster’s business landscape.
Glenn, his wife Karen, and their daughter Brandy moved to Lloydminster in 1989 to start Relay Distributing, and its rich history continues to operate today, serving the Lloydminster region for more than three decades.
Since selling Relay Distributing, Glenn built and operated Midwest Communications, Diamond Limousine, Paige Industries and Knox Corporation. His business passion extended over the past 35 years, as he shared his entrepreneurial wisdom by volunteering on many business-related boards, including president of Lloydminster’s Chamber of Commerce, chair of the Lloydminster Economic Development Association and sub-chairperson for the Economic Development Corporation.
Glenn’s love for the community extended beyond business. Most recently, he served as the council representative for the forthcoming Saskatchewan Summer Games in Lloydminster from July 21-27, 2024. He also served as president of the Olive Tree, the former Handivan Society (now Border City Connects Society) and Kidsport. He assisted with Scotia Bank Hockey Day in Canada and the Alberta Summer Games.
Further details on the celebration of the life of Councillor Glenn Fagnan are to be announced.
